The Get(ting) Reel About Our Stories workshop is a space to learn some tools for using creative writing and expressive arts to explore themes of mental health, seeking support, and practices of community and self-care. Guided by Peer Ambassador Husna Raghe and Clinician Charlotte Johnston, this workshop will be a space to explore principles of narrative approaches to mental health and how to apply these in creative ways in order to tell stories.

Join Get Reel Film Fest and TIFF for a panel discussion with past and current recipients of the Get Reel Scholarship — a group of emerging filmmakers whose short films about mental health premiere at the Get Reel Film Festival — about finding their path as storytellers, navigating the film production landscape, and the skills they learned along the way.

Join us for the opening night of the Get Reel Film Fest by Stella's Place.

To kick off the week's events, we will be premiering three original shorts exploring themes of mental health and identity. The lineup includes a deeply relatable comedy about insomnia, an animation about a Canadian immigrant's relationship with her cultural identity, and a drama about a woman separated from her family and struggling with PTSD after fleeing the war in Ukraine.

Each film has been commissioned by Get Reel as part of the Emerging Artist Scholarship program.

Join us for the closing night of the Get Reel Film Fest by Stella's Place, featuring a brilliant lineup of mental health documentaries at HotDocs Cinema.

To close out the week, we will be screening four short films exploring themes of intergenerational trauma, chronic illness, anti-Black racism, incarceration, social justice and mindfulness, followed by a brief panel discussion and guided meditation exercise.

THE FILM LINEUP:

No Crying at the Dinner Table - Carol Nguyen

Love and the Art of Despair - Tara Natalia

The Get Reel Film Festival by Stella's Place explores experiences of mental health through the art of film. By sharing real and honest portrayals of mental health, it aims to spark conversation, educate our community, promote healing and help-seeking, and celebrate artistic talent.
